Lovedtodeath Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Has anyone been to Indiana Beach recently? There were some bad reviews in '08, but it has transferred ownership since then. We are trying to decide whether to go to Indiana Beach or King's Island. DD really wants to see the beach and swim there. (But, the reviews for the beach itself are awful:confused:) It is about 60 miles closer to us than King's Island. It is less expensive and has more variety of food. We really like the idea of the shoot em up rides. Any opinions on what I should do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly IN Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 From what I remember, the beach was very dirty. Not clean water but dirty water. I highly recommend Kings Island over Indiana Beach. Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly IN Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Hello I need to find a new homeschool group that is in either Boone County or Hendricks (NOT HERITAGE BUILDERS!!) County. I am willing to drive to Carmel for Wisdom Builders. We want to see all of our options first. We will consider Indianapolis if it is worth a trip. Thanks!

Lovedtodeath Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 http://www.ihen.org/content/support/...ks.htm#support here is a list of groups. I am in Bravehearts2U. We are all about casual socializing. No workshops or classes. Just a demo about exotic pets once a year. If I can get enough interest, I am trying to have a meet-up for moms of toddlers and preschoolers at my house. (It is so much easier than the park.) I'd have to meet you somewhere else first though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovedtodeath Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Stephanie, we were near Salem/Scottsburg last week, at Hardy Lake! So beautiful there. I've had a hard time finding a support group that I feel brave enough to join. I wanted to join Heritage Builders for next year, but their website says "by referral only." :( I don't know anyone in the group. Back to square one! Sandy (the OP) has a group.

Holly IN Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 It is now by referral only. They have done a lot of wrongs the past few years to several families including mine. We are now forced to leave due to my son's neck injury which a kid attacked my son. My son never provoked him as two witnesses told the board. Then a teacher of my son who is on the board went after my son in a very hurtful way. She said a bunch of stuff about him which blew me away. So they kicked us out. I can't believe I gave glowing reviews of the group during this past year. Yes, it is the group to stay away from. They did not handle this in Christian love. A friend of mine who stepped down from the board told me she had to step down because she couldn't be part of something that is very unChristlike. We are looking into Wisdom Builders. edited to add: We have been with Heritage Builders for 8 years. I have bent over backwards to help the group far exceeding my obligations to the group. I coordinate at least 5 activities each year which only one activity is only required by each family (to coordinate). Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holly IN Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) actually Wisdom Builders is cheaper all around. Heritage Builders classes for high school run around $400 to $600 a year. For elementary it usually runs around $30 per student per session. Some classes are $200 per semester. Some are $160 per semester. Biology 1 is $600 a year. Hope this helps Holly Edited May 22, 2009 by Holly IN added prices for high school classes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovedtodeath Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Can someone give me information about a gym class or coop for homeschoolers?

Jazzmin Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 We are also keeping it pretty simple. I love the classical approach, but we are easing into it.

I've really enjoyed reading them and have found them useful, so thanks! We haven't made it to a park meeting lately, it's been kind of crazy. But if you are headed this way again let me know, maybe we can meet up somewhere. I always enjoy hearing how other people "do" homeschool, especially using classical methods...

Saille Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 We're here! It took a few days to get wi-fi rolling (and I'm not impressed with Comcast), but we're in, I've painted a bunch of bedrooms, and we're emptying tons of boxes! Despite the heat, we love it so far. We can walk to all sorts of things we couldn't before. Our church seems likely to be a great fit, too. We've got library cards and start swim lessons on Monday. Hopefully we'll see some folks around.
